Program Code: 1661
Objectives:
The use of micro-end milling gives rise to a 2.5D structure which is based on the base material that is being milled. However, a single base material is limited in its properties. For example, use of a plastic means that electricity cannot be conducted. Hence sensor signals cannot be collected for measurement. Layers of other material can be built on the base material and then micro-machined to provide useful structures. This can be done as many times as possible to form a 3-D structure where signals can be transmitted and other physical effects can be incorporated through different materials. Thereafter the micro-device can be packaged similar to the computer chips. This project will study the conditions for deposition of different material for micro milling using a variety of methods including spin coating and electro deposition.
Description of Work:
Familiarisation with the area of spin coating and electro deposition.
Develop methods to optimise spin coating and electro deposition of material that can then be easily micro machined to produce micro-devices.
Investigate and model the conditions for optimising the spin coating and electro deposition of material.
